Petroleum jelly products like Vaseline act as a shield, helping to seal in the natural moisture of your eyelashes and eyebrows. Just simply put some Vaseline petroleum jelly on the roots of your eyelashes before going to bed.  Rinse your eyelashes with warm water in the morning. You can even rub the Vaseline on your eyebrows. You could use a Q-Tip or clean mascara brush to apply. Try applying Vaseline to your eyelashes every night while you sleep and in weeks you should have longer, thicker eyelashes. While some holistic health practitioners warn against petroleum jelly, the kind that you can buy in stores is regarded as safe by both the FDA and Health Canada. However, petroleum jelly from unregulated markets may be dangerous. Stick to brand names from trusted retailers if you use this treatment. These oils are known to strengthen and stimulate eyelash growth. You could also mix them together.  Just pour a few drops of the oil onto a Q-Tip, and then coat your eyelashes with it. Keep it on your lashes for a few minutes (around 5-8 minutes) and then rinse. Do this once a day for 1-2 weeks, and you should notice the effect soon. Also apply olive or coconut oil on your eyelids and on the skin under your eyes every night (before you go to bed) for a noticeable effect. Apply olive or coconut oil with a cotton swab. Plan not to use eye makeup on days when you use oil, as the oil could cause cosmetics like mascara to run or bleed. Despite the disgusting idea of rubbing raw eggs on your eyelashes, eggs are a very good way of getting lengthy, healthy eyelashes.  The high protein in eggs can help create thicker and longer eyelashes. In addition, eggs contain biotin and B vitamins that play a major role in improving the overall texture of your lashes. Just beat 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of glycerin until you get a thick, creamy texture. Then rub this mixture onto your eyelashes using a cotton swab and keep on for 15 minutes. Rinse off using cold water. Repeat this remedy 3 times a week for a few months. Look for glycerin at...

TL;DR in English: Try the Vaseline trick. Put olive oil or coconut oil on your eyelashes. Put an egg pack on your eyelashes. Try using castor oil on your lashes. Use lemon peels to add volume to your eyelashes.

Hold your nose to the edge of the test container and inhale deeply. Take note of any scents or aromas you smell. Be creative and write down any associations. You might smell flavorings or ingredients that are a part of the food you’re smelling. The smell might also trigger a memory.   For example, a cereal may smell of corn if that is an ingredient. Alternatively, a chocolate chip cookie might smell not only of vanilla but also remind you of your grandma’s house. If you’re having trouble smelling the food, break it up a bit with your fingers. Take a bite of the food and feel its texture as you chew it. Notice if the texture of the food when you’re eating it feels different than when you touched it. Make notes not only about the food’s physical texture but also how you feel eating the food, if it is comforting, for example.  You might consider if it crunches between your teeth or dissolves, for example. It can be helpful to think of texture, soft to hard, on a scale of 1-10. A numerical system can help if you are comparing different samples. Observe whether the food’s texture makes the food easy to swallow and eat or if the texture leaves your mouth dry. Take another bite, and move the food over your tongue. Certain areas of your tongue are most attuned to sweet, while others are more attuned to salt or sour, so this will help you experience all the flavors this food offers. Note if the food tastes the way it smelled, or different. Write down your impressions of the food’s taste, not just good or bad, but at least five phrases that would help you characterize it if you were trying to remember it in the future.   Rate the sweetness, savoriness, sourness, and spiciness of the food. If you like, you can do so on a scale of 1-10. When tasting a food, it can be helpful to think about what’s pleasing about it and what you would change about it. Note the aftertaste, if any. For example, when tasting certain lasagna, you might note that it tastes like fresh tomatoes, pecorino cheese and too much oregano. Maybe it...

TL;DR in English: Smell the food to note the aroma. Taste the food to determine the texture. Taste the food to experience the flavor.

Do you want to write in an elegant handwritten journal? Or would you rather create a daily blog? There are benefits to both. A handwritten diary can be easily carried in your purse, backpack, or even in a pocket. An online blog is more interactive, and you can include links to other sites, photos, respond to comments, etc.  Try different formats until you know what you prefer. Personalize your diary to express your personality, using stickers, drawings, photographs, widgets, or anything else that you might want to include. You might sometimes write long entries, and other times just a quote that caught your attention. Include mementos of your day, such as flowers pressed between the pages of your diary, or a special card or paper wrapper. You might want to add a photo of something you saw that day, which may be accompanied by a story...or, it might not.  Try cartooning a diary entry. Particularly if you’ve never drawn before, this can be a fun thing to try to make your diary interesting. Write a daily entry in haiku, or another kind of poem for variety. If you write your diary by hand, try writing with a variety of pens or pencils. Writing in colored ink may change the things that you think to write about, or you might try color-coding your thoughts. Writing with a calligraphy pen or a fine fountain pen might lead to new ideas.  If you write with a pencil, you can easily include sketches in your diary. Colored pencils can also lend themselves to new and interesting ideas. Try writing with gel pens, ballpoint pens, felt-tipped pens, fine-tipped or thicker tipped pens. If you've never tried creating a diary online, explore some of the free options such as Penzu, Dear Diary, My Diary or Diary.com. Popular blogging programs, like WordPress, Live Journal, and Blogger, can also be set on "private" settings and used as a diary.  Digital diaries have many possibilities for personalization, and allow you to be very creative with content. For example, you could include audio clips, or video options. Consider adding...

Your anchor should be a hook on a plate with a hole in it. Use a screwdriver attachment on your drill. Drive the screw through the hole in the plate, and into the hole you predrilled into the wall. Some anchors also include a washer to put between the screw and the anchor plate. Other anchors are basically screws with hooks at the end. In this case, just turn the hook’s screw into the hole you predrilled in the wall. If you used anchors with plates, take a screwdriver and give each screw a few turns by hand just to double check it’s secure. The screw should not jiggle. If you used screw-in hook anchors, make sure that the hook on each is facing upright and is tightly attached to the wall. If you are hanging something like a framed picture, it may have a wire that you can catch on the anchor hooks. Other objects will have a hole, hanger, eyelet, or something else that you can fit the end of the anchor hook into. If your object has nothing to help it hang on a hook, take a trip to the hardware store. You should be able to find a variety of hangers you can attach to your object.

TL;DR in English: Insert a screw into the anchor’s plate. Screw in hooks, alternatively. Tighten everything by hand. Hang the item on the brick wall.

Once you've found a suitable route to learning hip hop online, begin practicing basic dance moves. One basic move is the hip pull. To start, stand with your feet apart.  Move your right elbow and right hip to the right. As you do so, transfer your weight to your left leg. Repeat on the other side. Go back and forth like this in quick motions. Your movements should be fast and abrupt. Spend a minute or so getting this rhythm down. Now, incorporate your arm into the move move. When you shift with your right hip and elbow, reach your right arm to the left and twist your torso sideways. It should look like you're grabbing something from the air. Return your arm to the side, get back in the starting position, and repeat on the other side. This is a basic move you can add to any hip hop routine. Remember to keep your moves abrupt and direct. This move should not be smooth. It should be kind of disjointed and fast-paced. The chest pop is a really easy step that involves your chest and hand. To start, place one of your hands in front of your chest. Do not touch your chest. Just keep your hand spread out in front about an inch away from your chest.  Pop your chest out and touch your hand. Then, immediately move your chest back into the original position. Do not leave your hand on your chest for too long. Only stop for a moment before moving your chest away from you hand. Alternating which hand is over your chest, you can do this move to the beat in a hip hop song. Happy feet essentially has four parts. To start, stand in a  normal position with your legs stretched out slightly. When the beat begins, you will move your body into four different positions following four beats of music.  For the first two beats, you will pivot on your heels. Pop your right foot up, placing your weight on your heel. Pop your left heel up, placing your weight on the ball of your foot. You will then turn both your feet to the left on the first beat. On the second beat, turn your feet to the right. For the third beat, you would jump forward....

TL;DR in English: Try the hip pull. Perform the chest pop. Try happy feet. Attempt the arm wave.

Books, as well as newspaper and magazine articles, can increase your familiarity with your topic. They may also introduce you to academic sources and experts whose work you can seek out.  Documentary films can also serve as good introductory sources. You won't necessarily be referencing any of these sources in your project, you're simply using them to get a better feel for your topic, the experts in the field, and the sources available. Based on your preliminary research, determine what kind of sources are most likely to have information that will help you answer your research question. In most cases, you'll use a mixture of books, scholarly articles, and online sources.  For example, if you're researching history, your likely sources will be published books and scholarly articles by historians. If you're researching the development of smart phones, on the other hand, you'll probably find most of your sources online or in tech magazines. You may need to use a university or specialty library, which likely has resources that aren't available at libraries open to the general public. Contact the library you want to use to find out how you can gain access. Published books and scholarly articles are typically preferred sources for academic research. Retrieving sources typically involves making a trip to the library. You may be able to use the catalogue on the library's website to request titles before you go.  Depending on your topic, it may be possible to do all of your research online. This is likely if you're researching something trendy or cutting edge, such as a new tech development. Many scholarly articles can be found in electronic databases. University libraries typically allow free access to these databases for students and faculty. Research librarians are specifically trained to find sources of information. They can help locate books, articles, and other sources of information that you may not have been able to find on your own.  In the library, look for the desk called the "research desk" or "reference...

You can use diamonds to automatically research and build things instead of having to wait an allotted amount of time. This can level you up much faster and increase your progress through the game. Limit the amount that you do this so that you can stock up on diamonds as you play through the game. The longer that you play the game, the longer things take to build and the more useful diamonds become, so it's good to have a supply of them. Do not waste diamonds during the early stages of the game. You can also purchase diamonds with real money. Your character starts with 30 diamonds initially. After that, you'll gain one or two diamonds per level. This will be used as your main source of diamonds, so spend them sparingly. You can also get diamonds by purchasing them with real money. If you login to Hay Day using your Facebook account, you'll get an automatic five more diamonds to start off with. Connecting your account to Facebook will also let you see your Facebook friend's farms. Purple tickets will occasionally show up next to the newspaper icon. Clicking these tickets will allow you to watch a 30-second game trailer. If you complete the trailer, you'll earn diamonds. As you play through the game there are different landmarks that you can achieve in order to gain more free diamonds. Achievements include completing 2,000 truck deliveries, helping visitors who come to your farm, and placing ads in newspapers. Your character can start mining at level 24. Unlocking the mine costs 26,000 coins. You can use shovels, dynamite, or TNT to reveal different ore and diamonds from the mine. Click on the mine, then click on the tool that you want to use to extract the diamonds. Getting diamonds through mines is relatively rare, so you may have to use your mine multiple times before you get any diamonds. You can ask Tom to look for mining materials, or you can purchase them at roadside shops.  Tom is the farmhand that you unlock at level 14. You can make him search for any items in the game that you need. After an initial 3...

A small tree will cost about $70. Even if it starts out small, your tree will yield fruit in 1 to 2 years, depending on when you are able to plant it.   If your local nursery doesn’t carry finger lime trees, they will most likely be happy to order one for you. All you have to do is ask! If you cannot obtain a finger lime tree locally, you can order one from an online nursery. Most often, a soil that contains sand will drain well. Finger limes can grow in a wide range of soil—the most important thing to is make sure it won’t be sitting in stagnant water.  Soil with a pH of 5-7 is recommended for finger limes. When you buy soil, the bag will indicate what the pH level is. If you are uncertain, ask someone at your local nursery for advice. You can order finger lime seeds from your local nursery or online, but keep in mind that most trees take up to 15 years to mature to the point of producing fruit.   If you do opt to plant seeds, make sure to use fresh ones. Even with fresh seeds, the finger lime tree is slow to grow and seedlings have a low success rate.    Plant seeds in a cell tray with drains about 2 inches (51 mm) deep in the soil. Use your finger to make the hole, then drop a seed into it. Cover it back up with soil. Keep in bright sun (or under a sun lamp) and water every 3-4 days, keeping the soil moist. Once seeds start to sprout, you can replant them in individual pots. Continue moving the seedlings to larger and larger pots as they grow. Places like California and Australia (the native land of the finger lime) have good year-long climates for outdoor citrus plants, in the 60–90 °F (16–32 °C) range. This tree does well in partial shade to direct sunlight.    Dig a hole in the ground deep enough for the roots of the tree. Place the tree in the hole and fill in the remaining area with additional soil. You want the tree to be able to stand on its own.   The finger lime tree makes a good hedge and the leaves will grow flat against a wall or lattice.   Avoid windy locations when planting your tree. The...

TL;DR in English: Buy a finger lime tree from a local nursery to harvest fruit next season. Use well-draining soil to prevent your tree from growing root mold. Sow seeds if you are interested in studying growth patterns. Plant your tree outdoors if you live in a warm climate. Pot your finger lime tree if you live in an area that gets cold in the winter.

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b{\displaystyle y=mx+b}, where y{\displaystyle y} equals the y-coordinate of a point on the line, x{\displaystyle x} equals the x-coordinate of that same point, m{\displaystyle m} equals the slope of the line, and b{\displaystyle b} equals the y-intercept. The standard form is Ax+By=C{\displaystyle Ax+By=C}, where x{\displaystyle x} and y{\displaystyle y} are the coordinates of a point on the line, A{\displaystyle A} is a positive integer, and B{\displaystyle B} and C{\displaystyle C} are integers. Use inverse operations to move variables from one side of the equation to the other side. Remember to keep the equation balanced, which means that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side. For example, you might have the equation of a line 3x+2y=4{\displaystyle 3x+2y=4}. This is in standard form. If you need to find the y-intercept of the line, you need to rearrange the formula to slope-intercept form by isolating the y{\displaystyle y} variable: Subtract 3x{\displaystyle 3x} from both sides of the equation:3x+2y−3x=4−3x{\displaystyle 3x+2y-3x=4-3x}2y=4−3x{\displaystyle 2y=4-3x}. Divide both sides by 2{\displaystyle 2}:2y2=4−3x2{\displaystyle {\frac {2y}{2}}={\frac {4-3x}{2}}}y=4−3x2{\displaystyle y={\frac {4-3x}{2}}} If you are changing an equation to slope-intercept or standard form, rearrange the variables, coefficients, and constants so that they follow the correct formula. For example, to change y=4−3x2{\displaystyle y={\frac {4-3x}{2}}} to the correct slope-intercept formula, you need to switch the order of the number in the numerator, then simplify:y=−3x+42{\displaystyle y={\frac {-3x+4}{2}}}y=−32x+2{\displaystyle y={\frac {-3}{2}}x+2}Now, since the formula is in proper slope-intercept form, it is easy to identify the y-intercept as 2.

First apply soap or soapy water to the patient's skin. Scrub it gently with a washcloth to remove dirt and bacteria, then place the washcloth in the soapy basin. Dip a second washcloth into the rinsing basin and use it to rinse away the soap. Pat the area dry with a towel.  Remember to rotate between the two washcloths: use one for soaping and one for rinsing. If the cloths become soiled, switch to clean ones. Replace the water in the basins as necessary.

Take your fabric pieces and separate them. Then, take one piece and fold it in half lengthwise so that the inseam of the leg is matching up and the printed side of the fabric is on the inside. Place pins along the inseam of the leg, but do not pin past the crotch area on the legging piece. After you pin up the inseam on one piece, do the same with the other piece. When you have finished pinning both of the legging pieces along the inseam, use a sewing machine to sew a zigzag stitch along the pinned areas. Sew about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the edge of the inseam. Do not sew past the crotch area.  Remove the pins as you sew. Trim off the excess threads when you are done. After you finish sewing both leg pieces along the inseams, turn one of the leg pieces right side out. Then, insert this piece into the piece that still has the print side on the inside. The pieces should be aligned so that their waistbands match up and the bottom of the legs are even. Make sure the seams are all lined up as well. With one pant leg inside the other, sew along the crotch area going from one side of the waistband to the other. This will connect the 2 pant legs and create the seam for the crotch. Trim off any excess threads when you finish sewing. Turn the pants right side out. Then, pin the end of the elastic strip so that it is lined up with the edge of the waistband on the back side of the pants. Make sure that the elastic is on the inside of the waistband, not on the printed side. Sew a zigzag stitch along the top edge of the elastic to secure it in the waistband. Tug on the elastic slightly as you sew to ensure that it will create a snug waistband. Sew all the way around the waistband so that the elastic overlaps by about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm).  Make sure not to sew over the pin and remove the pin when you are done sewing. Trim off any excess threads. After you sew the elastic strip into the waistband, cut off any excess elastic and discard it. Then, fold the waistband over into the pants to hide the raw (cut) edge of the...

In order to enter into a contract, all parties involved must be legal adults (over the age of 18 in most states), of sound mind, and free of mental incapacity that precludes their understanding the content of the contract.   Some states allow minors to enter contracts with an adult co-signer, and some states may allow emancipated minors to sign their own contracts. Being of sound mind when entering a contract means that a person cannot be legally bound to a contract if she is intoxicated or otherwise impaired. A contract is not legal or enforceable if the goods or services in the contract are illegal. For example, you cannot contract someone into prostitution services in a state in which prostitution is illegal.  Similarly, you cannot have a contract involving the sale of an illegal substance, such as drugs. A contract becomes voidable if someone is coerced, threatened, or blackmailed into signing the contract.  All parties must enter the contract willingly and mindfully for the contract to be legal. Be sure that claims and conditions mentioned in the contract are not fraudulent.  Contracts based on fraudulent premises, whether or not the fraud was intentional, are not legally enforceable. For example, you cannot enter into a contract to sell your boat to your neighbor if you are not the rightful owner of the boat.  Claiming that the boat is yours when it isn’t constitutes fraud, and will void the contract altogether.

The unique marking of a female black widow spider is the bright red hourglass shape on the underneath part of its abdomen.  The female spider has a black and shiny body with a large and round abdomen. The body is about 1 and ½ inches in length, and the entire spider, legs and all, is more than 1 inch across. They have fangs that are a little shorter than those of other spiders, yet still long enough to penetrate human skin. Black widow spiders are reported to be commonly found in the southern and western regions of the United States. Other sources and statistics report frequent sightings as far west as California, all along the eastern seaboard, south to Florida, and north as far as Okanagan in BC and central Alberta in Canada. Black widows like to live outside where there are plenty of flies to feed on; however, they can be found inside structures and shelters.  They prefer undisturbed places such as woodpiles, under simulated rock well covers, the eaves of a house, around fences, and other areas where debris piles up. Watch for black widows in dark, moist, and undisturbed places like meter boxes, under porches, porch furniture, and inside and around barns and sheds. Black widow spiders like to make their webs between objects that are solid and stationary. Some spiders prefer to make their webs in locations that are more flexible, like between shrubbery and tree branches.  The black widow's webs are purposefully made in an irregular shape, not like the typical and sometimes practically perfect webs made by other spiders. The fibers of the web are stronger than those found in most spider webs. They don't prey on human skin. Most bites occur when their webs are disturbed. They are not aggressive but will bite when they feel trapped or are touched. The females have the classic markings and the more potent venom. If you are bitten by a female black widow, then you need prompt medical attention.  The body of a female is usually larger in size than a male black widow spider, however the legs of a male are often...

TL;DR in English: Identify the black widow spider without disturbing it. Spot possible places where they like to live. Try not to disturb the web. Differentiate the males from the females.

Another feng shui suggestion is to go with tan, copper, coral, cream, or similar feeling colors when painting and decorating the room. Light blues and greens work as well to create a feeling of calmness without making the room feel too dark.  Shades of blue are considered the most psychologically calming color to humans. Reds and pinks can promote romance, but they also have a restless feeling to them. Only use these colors for accents or small pieces that can be put away. Quality, organic (where possible) linens are ideal to sleep in. It will increase your desire to go to bed, and it will help prevent you from sweating or itching during sleep.  Choose linen or wool curtains to help with light, noise, and breezes. Make sure they match the color of the room, though. Pay attention to the curtain’s hanging hardware as well. The details and accents should blend cleanly into the environment so as not to draw notice. For example, use silver accents on a lighter colored wall, or if you have dark curtains, you might opt for black or bronze hardware. Plants bring a little piece of nature inside, and they can help clean the air at the same time. The transfer of carbon dioxide into fresh, clean oxygen will make the room feel more peaceful.  Popular zen plants include Bonsai trees, philodendron, Sansevieria, and succulents.  Do not forget to water and provide light per your plant’s instructions. The act of taking care of the plant itself can be a form of meditation. Opt for a plant that does not have a strong odor to it, as well. The extra scent may become distracting when you try to fall asleep. Clutter is chaos, and the same goes with wall-hangings or busy shelves. Instead, put your photos and busier artifacts in a living room to spark conversation.  Shelves to hold your plants or a simple tapestry can be appropriate additions that don’t draw too much attention or unnecessary energy. Do not hang mirrors in the room either. They create active energy that opposes the peaceful feeling of sleep. Hide them in a closet or...

Power down your computer. Disconnect the monitor. Ground yourself. Remove your previous graphics card (if necessary). Remove any additional bay covers (if necessary). Insert your new card. Connect the power supply. Close up the case. Connect your monitor to your new graphics card.

There are dozens of options, and they all have different benefits.  Choose one that’s conveniently located and fits your budget. You can get a good photo without shelling out a lot of cash, but of course a professional photographer will offer the highest quality photo. Some places require appointments, so plan ahead. Some options include  shipping centers (in the U.S., this includes Fedex and UPS) places with memberships (such as Costco and AAA) Costco offers some of the cheapest passport photos. AAA will sometimes do it for free if you’ve booked a trip through their travel services.  pharmacies and retail stores (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart all offer this service) professional photography studios passport offices (many offer this service, but not all, so call ahead) registered passport expediters (if you need it in under two weeks) in your own home (but be sure to follow the strict requirements) Give your hair a little time to get over that fresh cut look by planning a haircut in advance if you need one.  About a week or two should still leave your hair looking neat and tidy by picture time. Of course, if you want the fresh cut look and trust your stylist not to botch it, you can wait until the last minute. If you like to shape your eyebrows, it’s best to do it about a day in advance to get rid of any redness before the photo but not give strays enough time to return. You could also get them waxed if you want to shell out a few bucks for this special occasion.  If you find that the skin around your eyebrows gets red after you pluck them, try applying cool, wet tea bags or a bit of aloe. To prevent dark shadows under your eyes and redness in your eyes, try to get enough sleep for several days before you take your passport photo. This will also help brighten your skin and make you look healthier.

TL;DR in English: Decide where to get your picture taken. Get a haircut about one to two weeks in advance. Pluck your eyebrows if that’s your thing. Get enough sleep.

This is the ideal temperature for keeping meats safely frozen. The refrigerator freezer will work just fine. Avoid freezing large quantities of meat together, as it will slow down freezing process. Separate the pieces or bags to allow the meat to freeze faster. Once the meat is completely frozen, you can rearrange the layout of the freezer. If the meat doesn’t freeze quickly enough, ice crystals can form in the meat. These crystals contribute to freezer burn and to the loss of juices while the meat is thawing out. Your freezer should maintain a temperature of 0 degrees or lower at almost all times in order to keep the meat at its best. If you’re only freezing your meat for a short amount of time (a couple of weeks), it’s okay if the freezer’s temperature fluctuates a little from the door opening and closing. Just be sure to eat the meat quickly.

TL;DR in English: Place the wrapped meat in a freezer set at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Place the meat in the coldest area of freezer. Avoid opening and closing freezer repeatedly.

Your monitor is most likely connected to your old graphics card, so disconnect it from the back of your computer before removing the old card. Whenever you work inside of your computer, you should make sure that you're properly grounded. An electrostatic wriststrap attached to the bare metal of the case is the most convenient way to ground yourself when working in a computer. You can also ground yourself by touching a metal water tap with the water running. If you are upgrading, you'll need to remove your old graphics card before installing your new one. If you were using your motherboard's on-board graphics card, you may not have a card to remove.  Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw that is securing the old card to the case. Unplug any cables connected to the old graphics card. Undo the latch underneath the back end of the old graphics card (PCIe). This latch helps secure the graphics card, so make sure to unlatch it before pulling the old card out. Gently pull the old card directly out of the slot. Pull the old card straight out of the slot. You may have to be firm, but don't force it out. If you can't pull the card out, make sure that the latch has been released and the Phillips screw has been removed from the card's bracket. Many newer graphics cards require two bays on the back of your computer. You may need to remove the protective panel for the next bay if you haven't used it before. These panels usually pop off, though it varies depending on your computer case. Make sure that there aren't any cables obstructing the slot and that none will get stretched underneath the back of the card. Push the card firmly down straight into the PCIe slot until you hear it latch and it is evenly inserted. Secure the card to the case using Phillips-head screws (most cards will come with a couple). Make sure to secure each bracket if the card takes up...

Make recordings of your music to play to venues. Pitch to venues where similar local artists are getting gigs. Offer to perform on a weeknight. Take high pay/low fan gigs to fund your band.

This way, you will be able to bring items in a backpack or bag without it being noticed. Even if you think you don’t have to change, stop by the bathroom anyway.  There’s nothing worse than sitting in class and feeling you’re having an emergency. Menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours, and you don’t have to change them.  All you have to do is empty them. Menstrual cups are great for the environment as well as your hygiene. Most pockets are big enough to fit a pad or tampon. If you come to school with items already hidden on your person, you don’t have to worry about sneaking them out of class. Put on two in the morning and when one is saturated, go the bathroom and peel off the first one and throw it away and presto - fresh pad underneath.  Be careful not to let the adhesive stick too much to the pad underneath, as it might rip off some of the absorbent material.  It’s best to stagger them a bit, with one in front and one in back. If you have pads with wings, you can place the top pad on top of one of the wrappers so you don't have to worry about the two pads sticking together and can have a wrapper to dispose of the top one. Just fold the wings over the wings of the bottom pad and it should stay in place, even with the wrapper on underneath.

TL;DR in English: Go to the bathroom between classes. Use a menstrual cup. Keep hygiene items in your pocket. Layer your pads.

Ask some people you know to take your questionnaire (they will not be included in any results stemming from this questionnaire), and be prepared to revise it if necessary. Plan to include 5-10 people in the pilot testing of your questionnaire. Get their feedback on your questionnaire by asking the following questions:  Was the questionnaire easy to understand? Were there any questions that confused you? Was the questionnaire easy to access? (Especially important if your questionnaire is online). Do you feel the questionnaire was worth your time? Were you comfortable answering the questions asked? Are there any improvements you would make to the questionnaire? You need to determine what is the best way to disseminate your questionnaire. There are several common ways to distribute questionnaires:  Use an online site, such as SurveyMonkey.com. This site allows you to write your own questionnaire with their survey builder, and provides additional options such as the option to buy a target audience and use their analytics to analyze your data.  Consider using the mail. If you mail your survey, always make sure you include a self-addressed stamped envelope so that the respondent can easily mail their responses back. Make sure that your questionnaire will fit inside a standard business envelope. Conduct face-to-face interviews. This can be a good way to ensure that you are reaching your target demographic and can reduce missing information in your questionnaires, as it is more difficult for a respondent to avoid answering a question when you ask it directly. Try using the telephone. While this can be a more time-effective way to collect your data, it can be difficult to get people to respond to telephone questionnaires. Ask your respondents to have the questionnaire completed and returned to you by a certain date to ensure that you have enough time to analyze the results.  Make your deadline reasonable. Giving respondents up to 2 weeks to answer should be more than sufficient. Anything longer and you risk your...

TL;DR in English: Do a pilot study. Disseminate your questionnaire. Include a deadline.

You can record the music on your computer or invest in nicer equipment to record with; the important thing is to have samples of your songs so venues can get an idea of what your sound is like. Try to have at least 2-3 tracks recorded before you start pitching. Try to have a digital copy of your songs to send through email and a hard copy (like a CD) to give to venues in person. Venues will be more likely to take a chance on your band if you're the type of act they usually book. Follow similar bands on social media and keep track of where they're performing. Add those venues to the list of venues you want to pitch. For example, if you're in a jazz band, find out what venues other local jazz bands are playing at. Those venues draw a crowd that enjoys jazz, so you'll have a better chance of booking a gig there than at a venue that frequently features alternative rock bands. Don't worry about getting a primetime Saturday-night slot if you're just starting out. Tell venues you're available for any open slots, including weeknights. Not as many bands will be competing for these spots, so you'll have an easier time getting a gig. Don't be afraid to play a paid gig at a birthday party or a wedding to earn some money. Take the money you make from those gigs and use it to pay for the expenses of playing a low pay/high fan gig where you'll get more exposure.

Every child with this condition has different experiences, so it's always a good idea to know these before attempting to teach your student. Cerebral palsy can affect muscle control, tone, and coordination, as well as balance and posture. This can impact fine motor, gross motor, and oral motor skills, as well as vision, speech, and hearing. Effects may vary from difficulties in learning to frequent seizures. A child with cerebral palsy may have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). If you weren't involved in creating it, get to know the IEP before teaching the child. It will show where the child struggles and what he/she can achieve. That way you'll be able to provide the best help for the child. This will also help you adapt your teaching style; you'll be able to involve the child as much as possible if you know their strengths and their goals. A child with cerebral palsy may need more medical care than usual. Children with CP may experience seizures or be at risk of serious falls. Make sure you know how to handle each scenario.

TL;DR in English: Get to know how the student experiences their cerebral palsy. Know their IEP plan. Make sure you know what to do in an emergency.

The side you place facedown will form the top of the table. You can lay the boards on a flat surface such as a patch of concrete or on sawhorses if you have them available. Position the boards so their ends align. Leave about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) between each board.  To space the boards properly, stick 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) wood spacers or nails between them, then push them together. If you put the boards on sawhorses, clamp them in place so they can’t move while you’re working. Measure about 16 in (41 cm) in from either of the table’s short ends. Place the cut battens there, then place a third batten directly in the middle of the table. Position the battens so they run across the width of the tabletop. Then, spread a waterproof polyurethane adhesive underneath each batten to hold it in place.  The battens will be about 7 in (18 cm) from the table’s edges.  You may need to use a caulking gun to spread the adhesive. Load the gun and trim the tip off the adhesive canister. Press the trigger to release a bead of adhesive. Move slowly across the width, or short side, of the table to lay a smooth string of the adhesive. Use a 5⁄32 in (0.40 cm) drill bit on the ends of each batten. Create a single hole in the center of each end. Drill diagonally down at about a 45-degree angle towards the tabletop boards. Then, place a 4 in (10 cm) deck screw in each hole to secure the battens in place.  To prevent the wood from cracking, always pre-drill holes before adding fasteners. Use galvanized screws on the table. They are much stronger than nails while also being resistant to water. Position the legs up against the inside edges of the battens, 2 per side. Make sure the legs are flush with the tabletop. They will point diagonally out from the battens, forming an A-shape. The table’s stance needs to be wide to give it plenty of stability. Put some polyurethane adhesive under the legs to secure them to the tabletop. Countersink the carriage bolts by first drilling a pair of 1 in (2.5 cm) holes about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) deep. Then,...

TL;DR in English: Lay the 5 tabletop boards with their best side facedown. Glue the battens to the table boards. Pre-drill holes in the battens before screwing them in place. Connect the legs to the outer battens and clamp them together. Screw the legs to the battens with 3 in (7.6 cm) carriage bolts. Measure about 13 in (33 cm) up the legs to position the bench support. Countersink the bench supports with 3 in (7.6 cm) carriage bolts. Screw the braces to the bench supports and middle batten.

This is different than the bucket you originally placed the roses in. A clean vase is essential to keep your roses fresh, since any bacteria left in the vase can kill the blooms. Use a bottle brush to get all the way down inside the vase. Run your vase on a normal cycle in the dishwasher if it’s dishwasher-safe. This prevents any bacteria that was on the leaves from contaminating the water. Use scissors to snip off the leaves as close to the stem as possible or pluck them off with your fingers.  Don't remove all of the upper leaves, though. Otherwise, the roses won't be able to pull water up the stem. If you notice any leaves drop into the water while you’re arranging the stems, fish them out immediately so they don’t dirty the water. This makes sure there are no air bubbles clogging the waterways in the stems. Do not pull them out of the water while you’re cutting them.  Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle, just like you did when you trimmed them from the bush. If you need to make the roses shorter to fit the vase, it's okay to cut the stems more than 1 inch (2.5 cm). You can wear a pair of gardening gloves to protect your hands from the thorns on the stems. Lukewarm or cool water is best for roses. The more flowers you have in the vase, the bigger the vase and the more water you’ll need.  Don’t overcrowd the roses in a small vase. They’ll wilt faster because they won’t get enough water. If you want to extend the life of your cut roses, sprinkle plant food into the water. You can buy premade plant food at a garden store, or make your own at home.

The human hand is made up of 27 bones: 8 in the wrist (carpal bones), 5 in the palm of the hand (metacarpal bones) and three sets of phalanges in the fingers (14 bones).  The proximal phalanges are the longest part of the finger located closest to the palm of the hand. The intermediate, or middle, phalanges come next, and then the distal phalanges are the farthest out, forming the “tips” of the fingers.  Acute injuries, such as falls, accidents, and sport injuries, are the most common causes for finger fractures.  Your fingertips are one of the most injury-prone areas of your body because they are involved in almost every activity you partake in throughout the day. Stable fractures are defined by a broken bone but little to no displacement at either end of the break. Also known as a nondisplaced fracture, stable fractures can be difficult to identify and may demonstrate symptoms similar to other forms of trauma. Any broken bone in which the two primary sides of the break are no longer touching or aligned is considered a displaced fracture. A fracture in which the broken bone has been displaced and a portion of it pushed through the skin is referred to as a compound fracture. Because of the severity of the damage to the bone and the surrounding tissue, this injury always requires immediate medical attention. This is a displaced fracture in which the bone has shattered into three or more pieces. This is often, but not always, associated with substantial tissue damage. The extreme pain and immobility of the affected limb that are often associated with this form of injury make it easier to diagnose.

TL;DR in English: Understand finger fractures. Know what a stable fracture looks like. Know what a displaced fracture looks like. Know what a compound fracture looks like. Know what a comminuted fracture looks like.

If you have extra time, you can send the person job listings that have been posted recently in their industry. You may find an opportunity that they overlooked. After you send the listings, ask the person whether they found it useful or helpful so that you know whether you should send more.  Speaking to the person about their ideal job will give you a good idea of what kind of jobs to look for. In some cases, you may need to widen your job search to other areas outside your city. This is particularly true if certain areas offer more positions in their chosen career path. For example, someone with a programming degree may decide to move to a tech center. Make sure to look at the job listings yourself so that you aren’t sending them spam. Looking for a job with the job seeker will give them companionship during the job search and will help motivate them to dedicate some time to it. Even if you aren't really looking for a job, you can see what's available in your industry or you can look for opportunities that would interest the job seeker. Post on your social media to find potential openings within your own network. You can also ask your family or friends if they know of any job openings. There may be an opening that the job seeker can apply to. A personal referral will improve the chance of the person landing the job. In some cases, the person may need more skills, qualifications, experience, or certifications to get the job they desire. If this is the case, gather information about local or online resources where they can attain what they need. You can also help them find volunteering or internship opportunities to gain the experience that will qualify them for jobs.

TL;DR in English: Send them active job listings. Look for jobs together. Use your network to help them find a job. Find ways they can be more competitive in the eyes of employers.

This setup results in a brightly illuminated glass object, with black lines creating a silhouette-like effect. Color and detail are generally easier to emphasize compared to the white-line setup, and the bright lighting can make weak reflections and glare invisible. Place the glass in a black photo box if you have one, or surround it with black matte barriers underneath, behind, and to each side of the object. Pull these side barriers close together, or use additional barriers, to block light from the front and leave only a small gap for your camera lens.  You can hold off on completely enclosing the area until after the setup below is complete, but keep this final goal in mind. You may need to use a "ceiling" for the area as well, if reflections are getting in over the top of the walls. This can be white or grey; the brighter the light source you'll be using, the darker this panel can be. Set this up directly behind the object from the perspective of the camera, and make it no wider than the object itself. If the panel is too wide, you could end up with white reflections or lens flare interfering with the clean, silhouetted appearance. You can use a specialized diffuser, or imitate the effect by covering your light source with a white tissue. Point this at the background panel. Use flags or barriers if necessary to avoid illuminating the glass directly. You're going for a soft "spotlight" effect on the background, which will in turn send light through the glass toward the camera. You can also try illuminating the glass directly from behind, sending the light through a sheet of white acrylic or a transparent canvas. This setup may be more difficult to adjust. Photograph the glass, and take a look at the result. If you aren't satisfied, adjust the brightness of the light source, or use additional photo flags or barriers to eliminate undesirable reflections.

It generally takes three bundles of shingles to cover 100 square feet (9.29 square meters). Asphalt shingle "bundles" are actually sealed in packages (the term bundle comes from wooden shingles which actually came tied up with wire in bundles). Measure your roof and buy appropriately. Measure the length and width of the individual sections of the roof, multiplying them together to determine the area. Add the areas of each section together, then divide by 100 to get the correct number of squares. Multiply this number by 3 to get the number of bundles you'll need to buy. This will help determine how the shingles will lay on the roof width. Most asphalt shingles are 3 feet (91.4 centimeters) in length. If your roof's width is not an even multiple of the shingle's length, you will have a partial piece on one end of each row. The bottom row of shingles must hang past the edge of the roof. For a wood shingle roof you would have to cut the shingles that go on the edge to create a straight line to accommodate this. Start removing the shingles at the peak farthest from the trash container, or the corner you want to collect the shingles in. Use a garden fork or a roofing shovel to pull them off quickly, use the hammer-method and go by hand for a more thorough job. Make sure that you protect the sides of the house and the windows during this process, such as by leaning a large piece of plywood against the house below where you are working. Otherwise you might break a window or damage the siding.   Pry up the nails and loosening the ridge caps. It's ok if you don't get all the nails at first, because you'll have a chance to go back through and remove them later. Remove the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys in the roof. Flashing in the valleys will almost always be trashed, especially. Some roofers will keep some of the flashing that's in good shape, but it's probably worth junking it all when you've got the chance. Sweep the roof as clean as possible. Remove nails that didn't come up earlier. Reattach...

TL;DR in English: Get the right number of shingles for the job. Measure the length of a shingle as it lies across the roof. Remove old shingles and flashing. Clean the roof. Install underlayment and new flashing. Choose the kind of starter course you will use. Use chalk lines to make a guide for yourself.

When you’re prepping the surface of your acrylic furniture, avoid using a dusting cloth to remove dirt and dust. These types of cloths can trap particles that won’t seem big to the naked eye, but will scratch your furniture. Even though acrylic furniture is clear, you shouldn’t use the same cleaners that you do on glass windows to clean it. Cleaners specifically made for plastics, like Brillianize cleaner, is the best option for cleaning your acrylic furniture. It prevents scratches and won’t break down the acrylic, giving it a cloudy appearance. Squirt a small amount of cleaner onto the piece of furniture you’re cleaning and then polish that area with your cloth. Once you’re done with that small area, move on to the next. Don’t spray the whole piece of furniture and then wipe it down.

TL;DR in English: Avoid using dusting cloths. Use cleaners specifically designed for plastics. Clean small areas at a time.

Before bacon can be battered and deep fried, it needs to be heated through to make sure it doesn't come out undercooked. Lay out your bacon strips on a pan, plate or baking dish, cutting them as needed so they'll fit in the fryer. Bake, pan fry or microwave the bacon until it's done, then allow it to cool.  Thick-cut bacon will work best for battering since it will be less brittle and makes for a heartier bite. Try to get your bacon slightly less done, as it will be cooked a second time later. Combine 3 eggs, 2 cups of whole milk and 3 cups of all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a thick batter. Add salt, pepper and other spices to taste. Refrigerate the batter for about 20 minutes to lower the temperature and help it set up.  Seasoned salt, garlic salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper and paprika all make great optional flavor additions to fry batter. The colder the batter is, the better it will fry to a crispy finish and protect the bacon from overcooking. Once the batter has cooled, take it out of the refrigerator and grab your precooked bacon. Dip the bacon into the batter with a pair of tongs, being sure each strip is generously coated on both sides. The bacon is now ready for the fryer.  Give the batter a quick stir after it comes out of the refrigerator. If it looks too thick, add an extra splash of milk and whisk again. If you're using a thin-sliced bacon, batter the strips by hand so they don't break. Place 2-3 strips of bacon into the hot oil and allow it to start frying. The number of strips you'll be able to cook per batch will mostly depend on the size of your pan or fryer. Try not to put in too many pieces at one time, or they could stick together or cause the batter to slough off. Watch out for popping oil when you put the bacon in the deep fryer. Even a small splatter could be extremely painful. Give the bacon a little time to absorb the oil and start sizzling. Since the light, airy batter will cause the bacon to float on top of the oil, the...

TL;DR in English: Prepare the bacon. Mix up a simple batter. Coat the bacon thoroughly. Drop the bacon in the fryer. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the fryer and serve. Finished.

There are a variety of unpowered, handheld engraving tools you can use. To make detailed pictures, such as you might see in a 19th-century book, select two or three tools for different effects. Here are three common types of traditional, handheld engraving tools:   Spitstickers are used to carve fluid lines.  Gravers produce lines that swell or shrink as you cut, depending on changes in the tool's angle.  Scorpers, with round or square tips, gouge out large areas of the wood to produce white space in the printed image. This tool is probably not necessary if you are not printing. Take a bottle of black pen ink, and use a brush or a cloth to barely cover a flat, wooden block. This will make the areas you've already cut stand out, so it's important not to use so much ink that it soaks down below the surface. Let the ink dry completely. Once it has, check whether there is a rough "nap" to the wood. If there is, remove it by burnishing firmly with a paper towel. A small, leather sandbag makes an excellent support for the wood, providing a firm backing regardless of the direction you push. Clamping the wood to a table is not recommended, since you'll need to move the block around as you engrave. Hold the tool as you would a computer mouse, with your hand lightly cupped around the handle. Press against one side of the metal stem with your index finger, and press the other side with your thumb. Let the heel of the handle rest in your cupped palm; when engraving, you'll push against the heel to provide pressure. Press the tool into the wood at a shallow angle to engrave. Use your other hand to turn the wooden block slowly as you push forward with the tool. Cut no more than 1 centimeter (less than ½ inch) at a time before adjusting the position of your hand. It will likely take some practice before you can cut smoothly.  If the tool quickly embeds itself and halt, the angle is probably too steep.  "Graver" tools can be gradually moved to a steeper or shallower angle to widen or narrow the line drawn. This can take some...

TL;DR in English: Select engraving tools. Apply a thin layer of ink over the wood. Check that the surface is prepared. Support the wood (optional). Hold the engraving tools. Engrave the wood. Experiment with your approach. Add ink to the woodcut. Transfer your design onto paper. Clean your tools.

It's easy to fall into a case of early senioritis - where you don't want to do any of your schoolwork, because you feel like you're almost done. However, allowing your grades to drop will show up on your transcripts, which can potentially harm your opportunities for colleges and jobs. If you slack off too much or skip school, you may even put your graduation at risk. Don't let the lack of motivation in junior year bite you later on! Remember, if you fail a class in junior year, you don't have a lot of time to make it up - you'll either have to take summer school, which will take time away from your summer, or you'll have to take it again in senior year, which can result in you being overly stressed out. You'll need to meet your school's credit requirement in order to graduate, and by the time you're in junior year, you'll only have two years to make up any missing credits. Talk to your school counselor to make sure you're on track with your credits, to make plans for junior and senior year, and to figure out how to make up any missing or incomplete credits.  You'll usually be encouraged to take advanced classes in junior year, though it's best to only take advanced classes that you can handle and in subjects you enjoy.  Usually, your school's mandatory classes will cover a fair amount of your needed credits, but just taking mandatory classes won't get you all the credits you need. Check with your school counselor to see what you still need. If you're in AP or IB classes, or even if you just want the college credit, it's a good idea to pay attention to your classes and start studying for the advanced tests. Look up when the testing dates are and mark them down, and set aside time to study for them. It'll make it easier to achieve high scores - especially if your teachers are also giving you advice for the tests! You probably already have a homework schedule figured out from freshman or sophomore year; now's not the time to let it slide, even amongst college visits or your work. Junior year is often one of the...

Being independent builds off of taking control of your life. You'll need to be able to take care of yourself in any way you need to. That can include day-to-day personal maintenance, taking care of your home, going to work on time, being productive, and managing your money wisely.  Independence can take different forms at different ages. The key is to show independence that is appropriate for your age. Independence can also involve age-appropriate responsibilities. As you get older, your responsibilities will change, and you'll need to be able to accomplish what's expected of you. A teenager has dramatically different levels of independence than someone in their 20s or 30s, just as that individual would have different levels of independence than someone in their 50s or 60s. Look to peers you know and respect for a living example of what someone in your age range must do to be independent. If you're struggling with independence, try talking to a life coach or career counselor. You can find these services by searching online or in a phone book. As an adult, you'll need goals of your own creation. Goals help give your life meaning and purpose by giving you something to strive towards, and offering you accomplishments worth celebrating. Implementing your goals and working towards your next great accomplishment requires you to prioritize your life, both personally and professionally. When you make goals for yourself, studies show that S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound) goals are the most likely to succeed. A S.M.A.R.T. goal should address the following components:  Specific - narrow down the scope of your goal. Rather than dealing with broad, generalized terms, focus on a clearly-defined outcome that you hope to achieve. Measurable - decide how you will measure success, both incremental and long-term. You'll need to know that you've achieved your goal at the end, and you'll need a way to track your progress along the way. Attainable - make sure that your goal can feasibly be...

Before lining your cabinet shelves, you’ll need to empty them out completely. Take out all of your non-perishable bottles, cans, and boxes of food as well as all dishes and cooking utensils. Put these items on a nearby flat surface that’s out of the way, such as your kitchen table. Soak a clean cloth in either all-purpose cleaner or vinegar diluted by water and wring out the cloth well. Wipe down the interior of your cabinets with the cloth. Use a toothbrush to scrub the edges, corners, and cracks. Keep the cabinet doors open for a half hour or so after you’ve cleaned them so that they can dry out naturally. Touch the shelves after this amount of time has gone by to check that they’re fully dry.

TL;DR in English: Remove all food and dishes from your cabinets. Clean the interior with all-purpose cleaner or a vinegar solution. Let the shelves air dry.

There are several varieties of cranberry plants that can be used in home growing. The variety you choose will depend on what you intend to use the berries for.  Howes cranberries are small, red berries native to Massachusetts. They are easy to grow and will stay fresh for a long time after harvesting, if stored correctly. Stevens cranberries are a hybrid variety of cranberry designed for productivity and disease resistance. They are large and bright red in color.  Two more varieties are Ben Lear (large, burgundy-colored berries) and Early Black (small, deep red berries). However, these varieties are not recommended for first time growers as they are more difficult to care for and are more prone to disease and insect infestation than the other varieties. Cranberries are best grown in cooler climates. Consult a USDA plant hardiness zone map. Cranberries should be grown between zones two and five. This includes much of the northern and Midwestern United States. Cranberries can be planted at various times throughout the year, depending on the age of the plant.  Cuttings and seedlings can be planted throughout autumn, from October to early November. They can also be planted in springtime, from the middle of April to the end of May.  3 year old rooted plants -- which are still actively growing -- can sometimes be planted in summer, provided they are purchased in pots. When it comes to soil, cranberry plants have unique requirements -- they need soil with a low pH value and a high level of organic matter. As a result, it is often necessary to replace your existing soil instead of trying to alter it.  The average size for a cranberry plot is 4 foot (1.2 m) by 8 foot (2.4 m). However, if you are only growing a single plant, a 2 foot (0.6 m) by 2 foot (0.6 m) square will do just fine. Dig out the existing soil in the cranberry plot, to a depth of 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm). Fill the plot in with peat moss, then mix in 1/2 pound of bone meal and 1 pound of blood meal. Optionally, you can add 1 cup of epsom salts...

Many companies manufacture products specifically designed to prevent glasses from fogging. These are either a spray or gel and, when applied directly to your lens, will reduce fog by forming a barrier that protects against moisture condensing. Most products require you to spray both sides of the lens, let dry, and wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Some products suggest longer dry times, while others require the spray or gel be rinsed off prior to wiping. Check product packaging for specific instructions. These pre-treated cloths are convenient and easy to use. Simply wipe both sides of the lens using the pre-packaged wipe. These wipes are made for only one use, so just throw it away when you're finished. Check with your eye doctor about the availability and cost of applying a one-time coating to your lenses to permanently prevent fog. This option may be particularly useful when there are drastic and/or frequent temperature changes or if the fog creates a safety hazard. Be prepared to leave your glasses for a few days and spend between $50-$100.

TL;DR in English: Purchase an anti-fog product to treat your glasses at home. Purchase anti-fog wipes for on-the-go protection. Invest in a professional anti-fog treatment for a longer lasting solution.

In some cases, you may even be able to convince somewhat popular though still relatively unknown bands to allow you to shoot their music videos. This will help you learn how to manage the expectations and on-camera movements of band members, and could result in suitable material for your demo reel. Not all directors are skilled at film editing, but having a general knowledge of it will help you to coach the editors you work with to your desired result. Take some time to play around with film editing software until you are comfortable with the basics. Also, you should always make sure any finished productions are well-edited. You may want to consider taking a class on film editing, specifically. There's a great deal of psychology that goes into piecing together a story from separate shots, and knowing this can put you ahead of the curve. In particular, on-spec/brand competitions should receive priority, as these generally are more highly regarded than others. Try not to get discouraged if it takes you a while before you see any success at one of these. Competition can be fierce.  Keep improving upon your method and techniques as you make videos for competitions. Critique can be difficult to hear, but can result in drastic improvements. When you finally win or achieve a "shortlisted" or "runner up" ranking, you should include this information in any bio, personal statement, or resume you submit. These sorts of awards serve as proof that you are a serious film maker. Your demo reel is a short clip that shows prospective clients/employers what you can do as a music video director. It should include clips of your finest work, and shouldn't exceed more than 90 seconds in total length. It should be specific to the line of video production that you want to work in, like pop, heavy metal, or country.  These reels can either contain short snippets of many different scenes, or a few longer samples strung together. Don't forget to include your name and contact information in your demo reel. While trying to craft the...

If your cover is removable, either run it through the dryer, if the label permits it, or hang it to air dry.  Lay the plastic surface out to air dry. Once you have rinsed the plastic and metal parts of the seat, you can simply leave it sitting someplace to air dry. Wiping it with a dry cloth will expedite the process, but in general, it’s best to allow several hours or a day for it to dry completely. As noted, always only air dry harness straps and buckles. If you cannot remove the cover, you can leave the entire seat, cover and all, in a sunny place to dry. If you don't have sunshine, it will just take more time.  You can use odor-eliminating sprays on the base and fabric cover if desired.  Remember, however, that your child's skin will be in close contact with the cover, so be mindful of the materials in your chosen spray. Don't spray down the harness straps.  Just rely on air as the odor eliminator. Once it has dried completely, reattach the fabric cover to the seat base. Refer to the instruction manual if necessary. You basically need to reverse the process you used to remove the cover, so if you took mental or physical notes, or a picture, video, or sketch, you should be in good shape. Pull the strap back through the holes correctly, in the right order, to properly install the seat and make sure that it is safe for your child. Again, refer to the instruction manual if necessary.  Make sure that the straps do not twist when you thread them through the seat. Twists in the straps can cause them to wear out faster, and they may rub uncomfortably against your baby's skin. Even worse, if the straps are severely twisted, they may not hold your infant securely in a collision. If you have any concern about your re-installation, take your seat to a fire department or other site where free car seat safety checks are done.  Someone there will be happy to ensure a safe installation. Likewise, if you have any concerns about the integrity of any components, especially straps and buckles, replace them or the entire...

St. John's Wort is a plant with bright yellow flowers and a few black dots along the margins of the flower (depending of the species). The leaves of the plant have transparent dots. Each flower will have five petals. You can find the flower growing in fields and pastures in sunny areas.  Flowers bloom from late June to early September.  To harvest the plant cut off the upper first third of the plant. Dry the flowers by hanging them upside down in a cool, dry place.  Once the flowers are dried, store them in an airtight glass container. You can keep them for up to one year. Find a picture of the flower and take it with you when you go harvesting. You can buy seeds and grow your own St. John's Wort as well. Plant your seeds in early spring after the last frost. To be safe, plant your seeds indoors first, and then replant outside in late spring when the plant is about two inches tall. Your flowers will not bloom until the second year. If you need your St. John's Wort immediately, it is best to harvest the plant or buy the dried flowers. If you do not want to grow or harvest your own, you can buy dried St. John's Wort from a store or online. You can then make your own tea and oil with the dried plant. Look for plants that were grown organically and harvested within the last year. Take the flowering tops and a couple of inches of the plant and place them in a glass jar. Cover the flowers with olive oil. Set the jar in a sunny window for two to four weeks until the oil becomes bright red. Once the oil is red, use a strainer to separate the flowers and the oil. Pour the oil into a bottle with a lid and keep it in a dark cupboard. The oil should last for a year. You will need 1/4 a cup of the plant if you are using fresh St. John's Wort for your tea. If you are using dried plant, you will only need two teaspoons. Pour a cup of boiling water over the plant and let it sit for 5 minutes. Strain the water to remove all of the plant and drink the tea. You can add honey and lemon to improve the taste.

Many rapists think that they can simply overpower a victim and have their way with them. They are arrogant, but they are also wrong. The more you put up a fight, the better chances your attacker will give up and look for an easier target. Don't make yourself an easy target. Try using anything at your disposal to defend yourself — things everyone has, such as nails and fists, or everyday objects, such as umbrellas and rocks, to ward off the attacker.  The good news is that, as late as 2001, only 11% of would-be rapists used a weapon during the attempted rape. That means 9 out of 10 rapists had no more natural defense than you likely do. Carrying out a rape with a weapon means a lot more prison time. If the rapist is carrying a weapon, follow your instincts and take cues from the rapist. If you survive the sexual assault, you've done the right thing. If you've got pepper spray handy, take it out and hold it out at arm's length, aiming for the attacker's eyes while shouting "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" If you don't have any pepper spray, you can try putting your hand in your bag and yelling the same threat — "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" — trying to outsmart the would-be attacker. Any rapist who's been stung by pepper spray before is very likely to think twice before assaulting you. An informal sampling of rapists in prison found that many would leave a target alone if she threatened to fight back. Say "Stay away! I will fight back if you get closer!" Rapists are looking for easy targets; people talking on their phones while walking, rifling through their bags, etc. If you show them you won't go down without a fight, you could scare them off. If an attacker wraps their arms around you or is close enough to touch, first try to pinch them in one of two places: inside the upper arm (between the elbow and the armpit) or the upper inner thigh. Pinch hard; pinch like your life depends on it (because it could!) For context, try pinching yourself in either of these places. It...

TL;DR in English: Try putting up a fight if the attacker approaches you empty-handed. Use pepper spray — or the threat of it — to deter your attacker. If you suspect a rapist is following you, don't be afraid to tell them you'll fight back. Try pinching them where it hurts. Punch, kick, claw, or otherwise aim for the groin. Stomp on the attacker's toes or bend their fingers back, if possible. Learn SING.

The author will be on the outside of the book or on the title page. It's ok if there is more than one author. For our example, let's say your author's name is Georgia Smith. The publication date should be on the back of the title page. Use the most recent date. For the example, let's say the book's publication date is 1995. You have two basic ways that you can make a citation. You can name your author at the beginning of the sentence like this, using only the last name: “According to Smith (1995), leaves turn red in the fall.” Notice that in this instance, the date is in parentheses while “Smith” is not. The other way you can make an in-text citation is to put a citation at the end of the sentence without directly referencing the author in the sentence. This would look like the example: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, 1995).” In this case, both the author and the date are in parenthesis, divided by a comma. Always put the author first and then the date. If you have two authors, you can separate the authors' last names with an ampersand (&). If you have more than two authors, you separate them with commas and an ampersand.  Example of in-text citation for two authors: “Leaves turn read in the fall (Smith & Davis, 1995). Example of in-text citation for three or more authors: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, Davis, & Baxter, 1995).”  With three to five authors, you always list all the authors the first time you cite the source. After that, you'll use “et al.” in this way: “(Smith et al., 1995).” “Et al.” just means “and others.” If you have six or more authors, you will always use the “et al.” version, even with the first citation you make. In some instances, you'll also need the page number to explain where you found the information. You must have the page number if you are using a direct quote. Let's say you found this quote on page 123: “In my experience, leaves change from dark green to red in the fall.” You can cite this information in one of two ways. Whichever way you choose, always put the page...

Before deciding how the season will affect your clothing choices, you should make sure that you understand the wedding’s dress code. Consult the invitation, which will usually make it clear how guests are expected to dress. That way, you won’t dress too formally or casually for the event.  If the invitation says “White Tie”, the wedding has an extremely formal dress code. Women should wear floor length evening gowns, while men are expected to wear a tuxedo with long tails, a white vest, and a black bowtie. If the invitation says “Black Tie”, women can wear a floor length evening gown or a dressy cocktail dress. Men should wear a traditional tux with a cummerbund and bow tie. If the invitation says “Formal” or “Black Tie Optional,” women can wear a floor length dress, a formal cocktail style dress, or dressy separates. Men can wear a traditional tuxedo or a dark suit, white shirt, and tie. If the invitation says “Dressy Casual” or “Semiformal,” women should wear a cocktail dress or a dressy skirt and top. Men should wear a suit. If the invitation says “Festive Attire,” you can have a little more fun with your outfit. Women can wear a cocktail dress in a bold color and pair it with fun accessories, such as a cute hat. Men should wear a suit, but pair it with a fun tie in a bold color or pattern. While you can certainly wear any color that you like no matter what the season, a winter wedding is the perfect opportunity to wear rich, dark colors that fit the season. Black and navy appropriate for winter weddings, but so are jewel tones, such as sapphire, ruby, garnet, emerald, citrine, or amethyst.   Metallic tones such as gold, silver, and bronze, also work well for winter weddings.  Pro tip from wedding planner, Karen Brown: "If you're attending a winter wedding, dress in warm colors like burgundy, brown, purple, gray, and green." While lightweight fabrics such as chiffon and linen are ideal for spring and summer, they’re not the best option for winter weddings. Instead, opt for weighty, textured fabrics that...

TL;DR in English: Consider the dress code. Follow a deep, rich color palette. Choose textured fabrics.

A cowboy's horse is often trained to stand still when the cowboy dismounts and puts one of the reins on the ground.  This is called being "ground-tied." Experienced cowboys develop their own rapport with their horse, and may alter the reins or other elements of the tack. Generally, a cowboy performing ranch work will hold the reins in the left hand and allow them to hang somewhat loosely. This leaves the right hand free for roping cows or other work performed from horseback. Jockeys use the long, looped rein typical in English riding, with rubber grips for increased hold. In a horse race, the jockey pulls low and tight, so that the horse tucks his chin to his chest, in order to collect the horses gait and slow its gallop. This gives both horse and rider balance and allows the jockey a bit of leverage and control.

TL;DR in English: Train your horse to obey ground-tying. Adapt your style for ranch work. Use reins in horse racing.

Don’t tell other people before you tell her. Don’t tell her in public. Don’t give her the respect she deserves by telling her the news yourself instead of letting her hear it from someone else. Don’t give her the respect she deserves by telling her the news yourself instead

Draw a horizontal line 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) from the top of the castle for the roof. Make a door arch that is about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) the height of the keep. Sketch windows along the castle by drawing small arches. Finish the door with some horizontal lines and other decorations. Sketch pennants coming from the top of each tower for optional detail.

If you care at all about the girl and her feelings, then you shouldn’t go around telling your friends, her friends, and anyone you pass in the halls, that you don’t return her feelings. Even if you really don’t like her very much at all as person, you should give her the respect she deserves by telling her the news yourself instead of letting her hear it from someone else.  Put yourself in her shoes — if you really liked a girl, how would it feel to find out that she doesn’t feel the same way from someone else? If her friends ask you if you like her or not, make sure you tell her that you don’t return her feelings instead of having her hear it from one of her friends. Another thing you should try to avoid is telling the girl how you feel when she’s surrounded by people. Though you may think it’s easier to just go up to her at a party or when she’s talking to a bunch of her friends, this will actually catch her off guard and will make her much more upset than if she were alone and had time to process what happened. Though it may be hard to get her completely alone, do the best you can to keep your news private so you cause as little pain as you can. You don’t want her to get extra embarrassed in front of her friends and your friends. Respect her feelings and her privacy. Another mistake guys make when they tell a girl they don’t like her is to lead her on because they feel bad about saying the truth. If you don’t mean it, then don’t say something like, “I’m just not ready for a relationship right now, but maybe we can date in the future” or “You’re the perfect girl for me but I just can’t let myself fall in love” or “I just need some time to get over someone right now.” Though you may think that this softens the blow, it actually will prolong her pain, and you should avoid making any declarations you don’t mean just because you think it’ll make the conversation easier. Make it clear that you don’t have romantic feelings for her and that you won’t have them at a future date, either. The sooner she knows this,...

TL;DR in English: Don’t tell other people before you tell her. Don’t tell her in public. Don’t lead her on. Don’t insult her when you reject her. Don’t make stupid excuses. Don’t drag it on.

It can be draining to listen to complaints. It can also make the conversation socially awkward. The next time a friend starts complaining, shift the focus.  Maybe your aunt complains about your uncle's busy work schedule. Try saying, "I understand you've been busy, too. Tell me all about your new book club!" When you redirect the conversation, you are demonstrating that you would like to talk about something else. Just make sure to change the subject to something more neutral. Avoid potentially negative topics. For example, if you have a friend who constantly complains about work, don't bring up the subject. Instead, talk about a book you both recently finished. Maybe your friends constantly use you as a sounding board. If people regularly complain to you, that means they see you as someone who can be trusted. But it can also be emotionally exhausting for you.  Let your friends know that you need to set some boundaries. Try saying, "Sara, I'm always here for you. But sometimes I'd like to talk about my own life when I'm with you." Maybe your friend has problems that make you uncomfortable. Don't be afraid to make that clear. For example, maybe your friend regularly complains about her disappointing sex life. Try saying, "Sheryl, would you mind if we change the subject? That kind of personal detail makes me uncomfortable." It is important to explain to your friends and family that it hurts you when they complain all of the time. You can use "I" statements to express your feelings and you can also ask the person who is complaining to rephrase his or her feelings using "I" statements.  An "I" statement focuses on the feelings or ideas of the person talking, rather than the person who is listening. Promoting "I" statements in your interactions with others may help you to feel less stressed by the complaints that you hear. When you live with someone who is constantly complaining, it can make you feel like he or she is blaming you for everything that is wrong in the house. Instead of stating, "I'm sick of hearing...

TL;DR in English: Change the subject. Set boundaries. Promote "I" statements. Deal with an elderly person who complains often. Cope with a complaining child. Spend time in groups.

Measure down from the walls, towers, and keep. Make a separate line across each part. These lines will add more depth and detail to your castle.. These lines make the roof of the castle look more distinct. They also help outline the upper walkways, which you can add more detail to later. Draw it in the center of the keep. Make sure its edges are an equal distance from the towers to the left and right. Sketch an upside-down U-shape to create a basic door.  Change the height of the door depending on your design. You could make it big, about 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) the height of the keep, and it will still look good. A big door might make your castle look even harder to break into! If you’re drawing a castle from the side, the door may not be visible at all. Keep in mind the angle you have chosen for your drawing. People need some way to look out of the castle, so add a couple of windows along the front. Try drawing a pair of windows above the door, keeping them about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) from the top. Place a single window in the center of each tower section and then 3 more on the outer walls.  To draw simple windows, make them the same shape as the door. Draw a small, horizontal line, then draw an upside-down U-shape over it. The window positioning, size, and shape can vary a lot. It’s your design, so draw them how you want them! The simplest way to make the door stand out is with a series of lines consistently spaced out across its width. Try measuring about 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) from the edge of the door. Then, draw a straight line from top to bottom. Keep doing this until you have run out of room.  To ensure these lines are spaced out more evenly, measure the width of the door first. Take the measurement across the bottom or middle part of the door where it is widest. For additional decoration, you could draw a pair of thin wooden bars running across the door’s width. Try placing them 1⁄3 in (0.85 cm) of the way from the top and bottom edges. You could also draw an arch around the door to make it look like it has a wood...
